Making your own pickles at home is a simple and rewarding process that allows you to customize the flavors to your liking. This easy pickle recipe will guide you through the steps to create delicious, homemade pickles.

Ingredients:​

• 4-5 small cucumbers (or any vegetable of your choice)
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• Fresh dill sprigs (optional)
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Cucumbers:
   • Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and cut them into spears or slices, depending on your preference.
2. Make the Brine:
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Pack the Jars:
   • In clean, sterilized jars, place the garlic, peppercorns, mustard seeds, dill sprigs, and red pepper flakes (if using).
   • Pack the cucumber spears or slices tightly into the jars.
4. Add the Brine:
   • Pour the warm brine over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged.
   • Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top of the jar.
5. Seal and Store:
   • Seal the jars with lids and let them cool to room temperature.
   • Once cooled, refrigerate the pickles for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to develop. They will taste even better after a few days.

With just a few ingredients and some simple steps, you can create custom pickles that are perfect for snacking or adding to your favorite dishes. Enjoy your homemade pickles as a tangy, crunchy treat that showcases your culinary skills.
